Zavier, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Horrible experience

Toilet bowl was not working, I went to the front desk. They had no one to come out to fix the toilet bowl issue. I asked for a bucket to be able to flush the toilet. A while later The smoke alarm kept beeping. They had no maintenance person available. They had no other room to put us in.

Lashika, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Absolutely horrible. I also tired to get a refund to go stay somewhere else because our hotel room was disgustingly dirty. There were no sheets or blankets on the bed. The staff behind the counter said I would have to contact the manager the next day to file a complaint.

Great stay for the price close to theme parks

walking distance from food restaurants and 5 mins from universal studios super friendly and clean. The area felt safe for a hotel night on a budget.
Claudia, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Disgusting hotel

That was the most disgusting hotel I have ever been in. The air conditioner was so loud. I had to turn it off then the toilet wouldn’t flush. I was told that there would be water, tea or coffee and the staff when I asked said no. The staff were absolutely well. They ignored you so it was horrible. I don’t recommend them at all. I think Hotels.com needs to look into this mess
Lina, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fourth stay at this hotel. Definitely my Orlando home. Love the staff, the service, the location. Simple and affordable but everything you need! Love it for EDC Orlando! Staff accommodated my best friend and I as we wished and made us feel at home. The manager is a beautiful woman who is helpful and her staff are well trained. They will see me again soon
Amal, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The bedroom was decent but the tv had no remote and WiFi did not work on any of my devices. The room was clean and smelled ok but the bathroom was the worst I’ve ever seen before
Angelo, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

When I get there 1/10/2025 They gave me a room 1114 without hot water, toilet do not flush, the door you have to slam it to close it I have to cross to the Walgreens to use the bathroom and in the morning use the bathroom lobby, I tell the front desk my situation and they told they couldn’t accommodate me and my wife in other room, thank god we only stayed there for 2 days. Worst Hotel ever.
Carlos, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

I wrote to the owner, did not get a response. There were mold in the curtains, no Wi-Fi, weak toilet bowl, very old bed sheets, no laundry facility, no shuttle to parks, no ice machine, broken fridge. I had to buy myself data ti plan my trip. Everything was broken, even the door. I could not get any help with this hotel. The hairblower broke. There were no light in the restrooms at entrance. Avoid !!!

The hotel was disgusting and full of black mold. The entire property was under construction and the smells of paint thinner and chemicalsfumes in the indoor halls were so strong that it made us lightheaded just trying to get to our room.
